C. Namasivayam et K. Ranganathan, REMOVAL OF FE(II) BY WASTE FE(III) CR(III) HYDROXIDE FROM AQUEOUS-SOLUTION AND ELECTROPLATING INDUSTRY WASTE-WATER/, INDIAN JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY, 1, 1994, pp. 351-355
The effects of Fe(II) concentration, contact time, adsorbent dosage, p
article size, temperature and pH on adsorption of Fe(II) by waste Fe(I
II)/Cr(III) hydroxide have been studied. The per cent Fe(II) adsorbed
increased with decrease in initial concentration of Fe(II), increase i
n adsorbent dosage and temperature. The equilibrium data fit well with
the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. The adsorption rate constants
and thermodynamical parameters are presented. Removal of Fe(II) by the
adsorbent is also testified using electroplating industry wastewater.
